Description: The world of the West Indian defies boundaries, as disclosed with poignant realism in these fine stories set in Canada, the West Indies and New York. Dabydeen uses a language and style distinctly his own, combined with humour and open-eyed wonder, to probe a diversity of situations and consider with understanding and generosity the foibles and idiosyncracies of his characters and their remarkable endurance and will to survive.
